Before her daughter Cailee loses her vision, Catrina Frost wants her to have a visual "memory bank" full of all the beautiful things the world has to offer.

Cailee, 6, has familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), a genetic disorder that can result in gradual vision loss. Right now, Cailee's vision is just fine. But that won't last forever.

So Cailee and her mother are checking off as many items as they can on her "sightseeing bucket list."

So far, the two have been to Disneyland and the beach on a trip to California, where Cailee saw the ocean for the first time and met Belle, her favorite Disney princess.

According to the Huffington Post, mother and daughter also plan to visit the Golden State's redwood forests (per Cailee's request) and take a few cooking classes.

They've also started a GoFundMe page in the hope of funding even more of Cailee's dream sightseeing adventures.

"Whether she has vision or not I want her to grow up happy, healthy, successful and to become an independent woman," Catrina told the Daily Mail.
